NEW
INDUSTRY
AFFILIATES
PROGRAM
MNTL IS LAUNCHING A NEW INDUSTRY AFFILIATES PROGRAM (IAP)
IN 2016 TO FACILITATE TECHNICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN COMPANY
RESEARCHERS AND ILLINOIS FACULTY AND STUDENTS.
WITH MEMBERSHIP RATES BASED ON COMPANY SIZE AND LEVEL OF INTEREST, THE IAP
WILL ENABLE COMPANIES TO PARTNER WITH FACULTY ON PRE-COMPETITIVE RESEARCH
PROJECTS, PROVIDING A COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR GAINING INSIGHT INTO COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF UNIVERSITY RESEARCH. THE IAP WILL ALSO DEVELOP AN
MNTL GRADUATE STUDENT INDUSTRY-RECRUITING PIPELINE, CONNECTING UNIQUELY
QUALIFIED STUDENTS WITH COMPANY INTERNSHIPS AND FULL-TIME JOBS.
